Hi. Is there a way to repaint all of the get variables?

If I have multiple "@...Get" statements then a READ, the oGet variables will only repaint their values when the user moves their cursor on top. How do I tell all get variables to repaint on command?

In the example below, if a user presses Ctrl-Z, only the current get will be updated. The other get will not update until the user moves their cursor on top.

function main()
SetKey( K_CTRL_Z, { || test( @nVar1, @nVar2 ) } )
@ 10, 10 get nVar1
@ 11, 10 get nVar2
read
return

function test( nVar1, nVar2 )
nVar1 := 5
nVar2 := 10
// How do I tell both get objects to now redisplay?
return

 
@ 10, 10 say nVar1
@ 11, 10 say nVar2

OK, sorry but I should have thought this through before my previous response.

What you need to do is set the WHEN argument on the gets to nVarx and then have your update function set new values to nVarx and then issue the @ say to update the screen.

If you just issue the @ say the old value will show up when the get gains focus.
